Designs for Health NeuroMag vs. Xymogen: Which Magnesium Threonate Protocol Is Better for Cognitive Support?

DFH NeuroMag and Xymogen OptiMag Neuro both use magnesium L-threonate (Magtein®) for cognitive support — DFH ships the standalone Magtein dose, Xymogen pairs it with malate and glycinate forms for broader cellular support. DFH wins on threonate-only purity; Xymogen wins on multi-form synergy. SupplementPractice.com lets practitioners stack them or A/B test by patient.

Threonate Crosses the Blood-Brain Barrier — Both Get Credit

Both products use the same Magtein® licensed magnesium L-threonate. The clinical difference is whether the patient also benefits from cellular Mg malate and glycinate alongside. Cognitive-only patients do well on DFH NeuroMag; cellular-context patients do better on Xymogen OptiMag Neuro.
